Former undisputed bantamweight champion, Aljamain Sterling had clamored for a featherweight divisional climb prior to his championship loss back in August – and has now revealed that an offer from the UFC to fight division contender, Calvin Kattar slid across his desk recently.
Sterling, a former undisputed bantamweight champion under the banner of the promotion, most recently headlined UFC 292 back in August, suffering a spectacular second round TKO loss against surging contender, Sean O’Malley – dropping his championship as his record-setting reign as champion came to a crashing halt.
However, prior to the clash with the Montana native and Dana White’s Contender Series alum, Sterling maintained he wanted to make a featherweight division move, welcoming a title fight against undisputed titleholder, Alexander Volkanovski.
